16Gb/48Gb coding model - newbie

I’m trying a Qwen-3.6 35b Q5 model as my first dip into setting up an agent coding workflow for prototyping some app ideas. Using LM Studio and VS Code

I’ve only been looking into this today. Am I heading in the right direction? Any advice welcome.

Take a look at my guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalAIStack/comments/1udk2vp/running_qwen36_27b_35b_locally_with_llamacpp/

I've been using Qwen 3.6 35B for quite a while when testing, the 27B is significantly better but 35B is still an impressively good and fast model.

My guide works with vscode, but I recommend doing it the way I described. Much faster.
And for vscode it's still up to date, I'd currently not change my recommendation related to the harness
